April 7th. The Sunday-School girls and boys of Pearson enjoyed their an nual Faster egg hunt hist Sunday afternoon. The eggs were hid by Mesdames Hunter and Summerlin, while the hunting was lead by Misses Mae .lames and Eugenia Allen. The Pearson public schools now begin the morning exercises at 7 o’clock, but it is 8 o’clock by the government time. This time is in effect from Aril Ist to October Ist. It may be inconvenient and get a move on us to keep up with it, but we will grow use to it. The Tribune is informed that the Pearson amateurs are to give another entertainment soon for the benefit of the stage curtains and equipment. The auditorium stage should be provided with cur tains and scenery, and onr people should raise the money by liberal ly patronizing the efforts of our theatrical talent or in some other way. Gome, don’t be a slacker. Hr. Geo. \V. lb-riot and wife, of Savannah, spent the week end in Pearson as the guests of Dr. and Airs. B. >S. Malone. Dr. Jleriot was born and reared in Pearson, born in the house now occupied by Airs. Alinnie F. Corbitt and his mother died there. He loves to come back to the scenes of his childhood and note the progress made since those halcyon days of yore. The Tribune sympathizes deeply with Air. and Airs. B. Kirkland, Jr., in the death of their second child, a bright little girl of about three years of age. The death was caused by taking cold with the measles. The funeral was at the home of the child’s parents, corner of Alain and Austin streets, Pastor Tally officiating. The interment was at Antioch cemetery, seven miles northwest of this city. The Missionary rally day exer cises at the Baptist Sunday School last Sunday afternoon was quite a success. The program was carried out in full and each child acted her or his part excellently. Semi patriotic features were introduced and pointed out with accuracy "'ho is the patriot and who is the slacker. I here was a good alien dance at the rally from the Met ho dist Sunday School. The offering amounted to 87.-10. Mr. 11. A. Parker left Monday morning for Ashburn, where he entrained Tuesday for some train ing camp. His brother, Edgar, carried him to Ashburn through the country. Herbert is a splendid young man and the Tribune be lieves he will do his whole duty as a pat riot ic soldier, standing in de fense of his country against the foes of humanity and universal liberty. The Tribune hopes he will safely return to his parents w.iose hearts are made sad by his departure. Prof. Geo. il. Padriek has re signed as a teacher at the Pearson High School to become a rural mail carrier from Pearson. He took the examination for carrier's place but it is unknown yet Wheth er he was successful. ■ At any rate he will serve as carrier until his successor has been officially assign ed to the place. The service is a hard one to till, because of the in ferior roads over which the carrier has to travel, causing the up keep of a car very expensive. Lillie Evans, the second daught er of Dozier and Lizzie Farmer, died .Sunday night and her remains were buried in the cemetery for colored people Tuesday. Pastor J. \V. Davis officiated at the funeral. The Farmers are neat, sel-respect ing, colored people; always ready and willing to serve their white neighbors when called upon. Hence they are highly regarded by the white people of Pearson who know them. In token of their re gard a number of Lillie’s white friends sent to her parents’ home, where she died, beautiful wreaths and boquetsof fresh Spring flowers l to be used at the funeral. PEARSON TRIBUNE, APRIL 5, 1918 Little Wilma. Down the lovely valleys Brooks like happy children play, Crimson buds from all the hollows Lean towards the arms of Alay. In the lit l lechurch yard very lonely Very silent and serene, Lies a little new grave mound Fair with blossoms fresh and green. Oh the days of weary weeping Oh the nights of yearning pain, With the solemn sad winds moaning hi the footsteps of the rain, That have lengthened, slowly [lengthened] From the March to April tide, Since with loving ones around her Darling little Wilma died. (inly a few short days have [vanished] From the stormy paths of time, Since that blessed little sister Climbed the hills of God sublime Went- up t fie Throne of Ages, Through the closing gates of day While the watchers from her [forehead] Saw the earth light fade away. Do not mourn your little darling Kindly saved from earthly care, With the gentle smile of childhood With the wavy golden hair. Hearing songs of deathless beauty Seeing fields of endless bloom, Went into that blissful Eden Through the pathway of the tomb. E. Liberty Loan Campaign. The effort to secure the third liberty loan of $4,500,000,000 be gins tomorrow, and will continue thirty days. A thorough canvass of the country will be made.

They will tell those present the wliys and wherefores America should wake up to the situation, see it as it is, and to do with their might what the Nation wants them to do. The people of America have got to make deep-cut sacrifices to win this*war and they might as well face it like men, patriotic and con i ageou.s men. Dr. J. S. Alorris and family left for At lanta Sunday night to make it their home at least for the next year or t wo. Dr. Morris will be attached to the Baptist Sanitarium located in that city, and founded under the leadership of Dr. Leu Broughton.

Sumner of the Pearson Banking Company, and he and Mrs. Sumner, nee Miss Ollie Deem will begin keeping house. An aged negro man, who had been staying at the home of John Treadwell for some time dropped dead last Friday afternoon. He walked out on the railroad right-of way and sat down on a pile of eros-ties where Alecks street cross es the railroad. He had been sit | ting there but a short while when Jesse Troutman and Sampson Coker, who were working near by, saw him fall and when they reach ed him they found him dead, it ! was reported to Mayor Jeff Kirkland and the old man,was buried at the expense of Coffee county in the colored cemetery Saturday morning. Air. Lonnie Pearson has gone to Douglas where he will take a busi ness course at the Georgia Normal and Business Institute. Battles That Won Kingdoms. In the early days of the empires oi Rome and Greece and Persin the win ning of a decisive battle usually meant the establishment of a new king and sometimes a new country. For when Oqtavius defeated the combined fleets of Antony and Cleopatra at Actlum In 81 B. C. he at once established im perialism, with all the power In his own hands. Later, at Philippi, he won a decisive battle against Brutus and Cassius and tightened his hold upon the empire. Four Earthquakes In One Morning. Four seismic disturbances occurred in Japan on the morning of November 5. The first shock occurred at 9:58 and lasted for a minute and a half. It was weak. At 11:23 a brief but vio lent quiver was felt. Five minutes later a strong but horizontal vibration followed. -The llnal shock, at 11:54, was hardly noticeable. Scientists de clare the center of disturbance to have been fifty miles from Tokyo.—East and West News. Soli Peculiarities. A soil covered With gravel cools much more slowly than n sandy soil, so that the heat absorbed during the day is retained farther Into the night. This knowledge is taken advantage of In cases where, otherwise, late fruit ing crops would either be caught by frosts or fall to mature through short ness of the high temperature season. Sod or cover crops prevent warming of the soil. Pitying Not Consoling. It Is said that the blind are easily discouraged, and one should never talk to them about their misfortune. In Portugal, where the blind are more numerous, posters are placed on the walls of the workshops bearing this Inscription: “Never pity the blind when talking to them.” This advice has been followed In France. In many schools in France one reads signs as follows: “Pitying Is not consoling.” Old Coffins Now Valuable. Old metal coffins that have not seen the light of day for many years adorn a vacant lot that is used ns a Junk yard In Grass Valley, Cal. These grew somo specters lying about on the ground have been the cause of a great deal of Interest. One of these Is a bronze nffntr that Is worth several times ns much for junk now as It cost when new 30 years ugo. Depends on the Company. As to whether one- should walk alone, or in company, authorities differ. For instance, Robert Louis Stevenson said that tho only way to enjoy a walk Is to take It alone. On the other hand, Mark Twain declared that the chief enjoyment of n walk lies, not In the walk Itself, but In the talking that ac companies It. Harsh Parallel. “Remember when we were kids? Re member you liked to play with me bet ter than with anybody else?" The millionaire was not effusive. "We have queer tastes when we’re young,” he observed. “I remember I used to like to play with toads.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. Water's Passage Through Wood. Water passes through real wood when ascending a tree, largely through the last season’s growth. With decid uous trees the great demand for water comes in the spring when the young leaves put forth. After that upward sap movement Is much less. Don’t Seem Right, Some Way. “This law Is a queer business.” “How so?” “They swear a man to tell the truth.” "What then?” “And every time he shows signs of doing It, some lawyer objects.”—Louisville Courier- Journal. Cow Elephant Tusks Best. The tUsks of the cow elephant have been found best adapted to the malting of billiard balls. The tusk of the fe male Is not so curved as that of the male, and the fine nerve passage Is not so clearly seen. Production of Salt. About 51 per cent of tho salt pro duced In Russia Is from lakes, 23 per cent being obtained by evaporating brine pumped up from bore-holes, and 20 per cent by mining beds of rock salt. Seaweed Fertilizer. Seaweed as a fertilizer has been found to be very beneficial to potato beds when applied previously to plant ing the seeds. Defers It, in Fact. Slapping a friend on the back won’t bring about the universal brotherhood of man.—Toledo Blade. Tho Only Way. Only way to get the genuine mince pie Is to marry Into the family where It Is made. Real Requirement. Find me the man who suits the place; not a man the place would suit. Proverb. Whatever Is, Is In Its causes just.— Dryden.

"Our boys must have their smokes. Send them cigarettes!” This is a familiar appeal now to all of us. Among those most in demand is the now famous “toasted” cigarette— LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this favorite brand have been shipped to France. There is something home like and friendly to the boys in the sight of the familiar green packages with the red circle. This homelike, appetizing quality of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is largely due to the fact that the Burley Tobacco used in making it has been iaasted. “It’s toasted” was the “slo gan” that made a great success of VJCKY STRIKE in less than a year. ■f ; ow the American Tobacco Co. is making 15 million LUCKY STRIKE Curettes a day. A good part of this immense pro duction is making its wav across the to cheer our bovs Turkish Language Easy. The Turkish language, although spo ken In many dialects, is so uniform in plan that anyone who speaks Otto man Turkish can he understood while traveling from European Turkey throbgh Asia Minor and Central Asia. Changing Color of Flowers. Many pink flowers may be turned blue by exposing them to the fumes of ammonia for a few minutes, and blue flowers become pink when exposed to acids. The Way of Investigations. Very few investigations hold up In a way that makes them as Interest ing at the finish as they were at the start. Wonderfully Acute Faculties. The keenest hearing Is that of the vaudeville artist, who frequently an swers the encore before It starts — Kansas City Star. Self-Centered. It Isn’t wholly because of a chilly re ceptlon that some people are nil wrap ped up In themselves. —Philadelphlr Record. Honey and Syrups. Honey and syrups Instead of sr.gr will make victory Just as .sweet —ar bring it much sooner. Has Great Specific Gravity. Mercury has the greatest specific gravity of all liquids, but recently an other has been discovered which Is also so heavy that stones of all kinds— granite, limestone, quartz, etc., float In lt» It Is saturated aqueous solution of tung stoporate. Its specific grav ity is 3.3, whereas that of ordinary rock does not exceed 2.7. Only a few precious stones have a specific gravity greater than that of this liquid, for which reason It Is proposed to employ It for the separation of such stones from masses of broken rock. —— a Names That Bignify Nothing. Really, what is In a name? Irish stew is little known in Ireland; Roman can dles did not originate In Rome; what Is known in baseball parlance as a “Tex as Leaguer” happens In as many games played outside of the Texas league as those played In it; the Irish daisy Is In reality a dandelion; Netherlander don’t make it a custom to pay for their own refreshments while eating and drinking with friends, and thereby make constant what Is known as a “Dutch Treat.” And so on, for In finite examples. Taking Oil Stains From Concrete. ' It has been found that oil stains on concrete floors may be removed by using a mixture of one pound of oxalic acid In three gallons of water, with enough wheat flour added to make a paste that can he applied with a brush. Allow the application to remain for two days, and then remove It with clean water and a scrubbing brush. A second application may be necessary, in stubborn cases. —— ~ r ‘- i> j Thought He Was “Kidding.** One day a Dublin grave digger work ing very hard broke his spade. Ha sent his little son for a new one and told him to tell the shopkeeper hai would pay him when he was finished.! When the boy came back empty-hand-l ed, his father asked him why be did not bring the spade. “Because,” said 1 the boy, "he chased me away when II told him you would pay him when you came out of the grave.” Opportunities. The reason opportunities are neither recognized nor embraced lies in the composition of the tissues, the flesh, and the blood, called man. One man perceives one kind, his blood brother secs a lesser or many better ones. John pushes through the habits he acquires all too early; James over comes the temperament he and hl»j nine brothers partly Inherited. '
